Twenty-one students and four FSA's traveled to Columbus, GA to take part in the Ignatian Family Teach-In and the protest of the U.S. Army School of the Americas. The group prepared for this trip through community-building and information/activity sessions to learn about the issues related to the SOA and U.S. policy in Latin America. The three day trip included a chance to hear from numerous speakers at the Ignatian Family Teach-In who focused on a variety of social justice issues. The teach-in closed with a Catholic liturgy on Saturday evening which attracted over 4,000 people. The time at the protest included particpation in a solemn mock funeral vigil to remember victims of torture and murder at the hands of School of the Americas graduates. The group gathered at the end of the day on Sunday to begin processing their experience and discuss what they experienced, what they want to learn more about, how the experience related to their faith, and what they are feeling called to do after the experience. The group will meet peridocally over the next few months to continue processing the trip.
In 1989, six Jesuit priests, their housekeeper, and her daughter were killed at the University of Central America (UCA) in San Salvador, El Salvador. They were targeted by U.S. trained troops for their efforts to advocate for the rights of the poor in the country. Each year JCU's JUSTICE group remembers the works and spirt of these men and women in various ways. This year the group held a die-in where they lied silently as a representation of the scene outside the Jesuit residence on 11/16/89. A mass was also held later in the evening to prayer for peace and an end to injustice in our world.
The retreat is rooted in and introduces students to Ignatian spirituality. (Manresa is one of the places where St. Ignatius stopped on his journey, and it was at Manresa that the ideas for what are now known as the Spiritual Exercises began to take shape.) This retreat offers students an opportunity to explore in more depth some of life's ultimate questions - Who am I? What are my priorities? How do I maintain a sense of balance in my life? Where and how has God been present in my life? To learn more about Manresa click

"Celebrate the Spirit" is a kick-off to each academic year. The JCU community comes together to celebrate mass and join together for a picnic lunch. This tradition occurs it Jesuit high schools and universities around the world.
